Grace of a Different God
Preview:
What would you do if you were forced to run away from home at the tender age of sixteen? What if you had been hidden away all of your life in a reclusive cult, and knew little to nothing about the outside world? Would you know how to live on your own? Where to go? Whom you could trust?
Inspired by author Judith Nelson's own experiences, this is the story of Grace McGonnell. Raised within an isolated cult of religious fundamentalists, Grace is told by her controlling mother that she must marry a fellow cult member over twice her age. When her protests fall on deaf ears, she and her new friend Lydia decide to run away to Los Angeles, where they are kidnapped and forced into a horrifying world of drugs and sex.
Years later, Grace, now a successful attorney in Atlanta, is shocked to learn that her sixteen year old niece, still trapped within the cult, similarly is being forced to marry an older man – and that Grace's mother, once again, is involved. Grace is determined to save her niece at all costs. Even if it means confronting a past that she would do anything to forget. Even if it means revealing, for the first time, the pain of that hidden past to her husband and children.
